BSc in Mechanical Engineering - Flow Physics and Propulsion Systems in Irvine United States | University of California Irvine

Graduates will possess the professional and scientific training needed to thrive as career engineers and in graduate studies. Specifically, they will be equipped to (1) work in professional settings across industry, government, and academia by applying and expanding their engineering science knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills, (2) serve as team members and leaders while upholding ethical and inclusive standards, including the ASME code of ethics, within and beyond traditional Mechanical Engineering fields, and (3) stay updated with technology and current scientific, environmental, and social concerns, continuously enhancing their skills and knowledge through lifelong learning. (Program educational objectives guide curriculum development, and achieving them is a joint effort between students and UCI.) The undergraduate Mechanical Engineering program begins with a base in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Most of the remaining coursework consists of engineering classes in core subjects. A limited number of technical electives enable students to focus on Aerospace Engineering, Energy Systems and Environmental Engineering, Flow Physics and Propulsion Systems, or Design of Mechanical Systems, or to gain a wider perspective in these areas. The curriculum concludes with a senior capstone design project.
